The Kia mini SUV concept's production version will arrive in 2019. Kia Stonic teaser shown only for references.

A report in September last year said that the new Kia mini SUV will have a body not exceeding 4,000 mm in length so as to qualify as a small car. However, the latest report suggests that Kia will not restrict the length, so as to pitch the model as a premium Hyundai Creta rival. Details are scarce at the moment, but a possibility is that the new Kia mini SUV concept will evolve into a production model similar to the Kia Stonic.

The Kia mini SUV concept’s production version will go on sale in India in 2019. Kia has started construction of its first local facility in Anantapur district in the state of Andhra Pradesh. Production will commence towards the end of 2019.
